Section 107.57 | Regulatory restriction elimination.
(A) In the course of evaluating draft rules and business impact analyses under sections 107.51 to 107.55 of the Revised Code, or at any other time, the common sense initiative office may review any rules containing regulatory restrictions that a state agency is required to include in its inventory of regulatory restrictions under section 121.95 of the Revised Code. If the common sense initiative office determines, based on the criteria described in division (A) of section 106.03 of the Revised Code, that a state agency should eliminate a regulatory restriction, the common sense initiative office shall notify the state agency that it is required to eliminate that regulatory restriction, and the state agency shall eliminate it.
(B) If a state agency objects to the elimination of a regulatory restriction that the common sense initiative office has determined should be eliminated under division (A) of this section, the state agency may appeal that decision to the joint committee on agency rule review. If the joint committee also determines, based on the criteria described in division (A) of section 106.03 of the Revised Code, that the state agency should eliminate the regulatory restriction, the state agency shall eliminate it.
(C) As used in this section, "state agency" has the same meaning as in section 121.95 of the Revised Code.
